Q: Should my dog be groomed as often during the winter?

A: Grooming isn't just a matter of shortening the coat. Professional grooming is a total care programme for your pet and should not be considered a seasonal need. Poodles, schnauzers, cockers and other long-coated breeds grow just as quickly in the winter as the summer and winter grooming is vital to their good health.

A well groomed pet dries faster and tracks less dirt and debris into your home as during the grooming process, the foot pads are also trimmed of hair.
